When Tachibana Yoshio walked into Hai'an Town surrounded by several Nakasa, Shaoza and more than a dozen guards, the entire ancient town had become a burning hell, and the streets were full of the corpses of innocent people, many of whom had not yet breathed, and were lying in a pool of blood moaning and begging for help. [No pop-up novel network]

Tachibana Yoshio had a cold expression, and there was no trace of unbearable color between his eyebrows.

Yoshio Tachibana was born into a military family, and the spirit of bushido has almost been integrated into his bone marrow, so how can such a person care about the life or death of others if he doesn't even take his own life seriously?

Walking past an old house, a young man in his early thirties suddenly burst out of the yard.

The young man still had a firewood knife in his hand, and he yelled loudly: "Little devil of the dog, I fought with you......

Tachibana Keio stopped, turned sideways, and looked coldly at the young man who rushed over with a firewood knife, his expression was like iron, without a trace of pity, let alone panic, the situation was like looking at a dying prey.

"Horn!" Before the young man rushed in front of Tachibana Yoshio, a young man next to him shot him.

Although the failure rate of the southern pistol is very high, the lethality is still very strong, the high-speed rotating bullet directly penetrated the young man's skull, and a big D was broken in the back of the head, and the broken bones and pasty brain tissue splashed out violently from the broken hole, and the young man trembled violently, and then fell straight back like a sawn down wood, but after falling to the ground, the young man's round eyes were still staring at Tachibana Keio, but his eyes became empty.

The young man twitched twice and then stopped talking, but the expression on Tachibana Keio's face did not change in the slightest.

At this moment, a young woman suddenly rushed out of the house with a baby in her arms, and let out a heart-rending scream: "Daddy, daddy, daddy......"

However, the young man who fell to the ground was never able to respond to his wife again.

The young woman rushed to the young man with the baby in her arms, fell to her knees and began to cry.

Tachibana Keio frowned, raised his white-gloved right hand and waved it forward.

Shao Zuo, who had just shot, let out a sound, put the southern pistol back into the holster, and then pulled out the saber with his backhand, and stabbed it down on the side of the young woman's neck, and the sharp saber instantly broke through the young woman's neck muscles, straight through the chest, and then penetrated from the abdomen after piercing her heart, and the red blood spurted out of the blood trough of the saber like a fountain in an instant.

The young woman whimpered and fell at the young man's feet, and the baby in her arms rolled to the ground.

But there was no trace of forbearance or pity, he pulled out the saber from the young woman and stabbed it into the swaddling clothes, and the poor little baby didn't even have time to open his eyes to see the world, so he followed his parents and passed away, and the devil Shaozo even picked up the corpse with a bayonet and threw it far into the courtyard after assassinating the baby.

I don't know if it's because he killed the baby, but Tachibana Keio suddenly didn't want to enter the town anymore.

Tachibana Keio called Shaozo to him and ordered: "Maeda-san, send troops to search a few more times, don't let go of any corners, and make sure that no living creature is left!" ”

"Hello." Shao Zuo hung his head and turned to go.

Yoshio Tachibana turned his head to look at the couple who had fallen to the ground, then turned around and walked out of the town again.

A big Zuo took two steps closely, followed by Tachibana Keio, and whispered: "Detachment leader, just now the aviation scout reported that the remnants of the provisional 79th Division have left Nantong and are coming towards Hai'an Town. ”

"Yo Si." The corners of Tachibana Keio's mouth formed into a sinister smile.

As soon as the independent battalion passed Rugao, Xu Rui stopped and stopped walking.

Seeing Xu Rui stop, the remnants of the soldiers behind him also stopped.

Leng Tiefeng walked over and asked Xu Rui, "Old Xu, why don't you leave?" ”

"No, no." Xu Rui frowned and said in a deep voice, "I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"Are you overthinking?" Leng Tiefeng said disapprenousively, "It's already more than 100 miles away from Nantong, and less than 100 miles further is Hai'an Town, which is already the defense area of the 59th Army." ”

Jiang Nan also stepped forward and whispered: "During the lunch break, I just contacted the Shanghai Station of the Fuxing Society, according to the information that our Fuxing Society has, the main force of the devils is still resting on the line from Wumu and Nanjing to Zhenjiang, and the devils in Jiangbei have not gone north after capturing Pukou and Yangzhou, and there are no devils ahead. ”

"I'm not sure if there are devils." Xu Rui paused, and then said coldly, "However, my intuition tells me that if I go any further, there will be danger!" ”

Leng Tiefeng and Jiang Nan didn't say more, they had already seen Xu Rui's hearing, this guy could even hear the subtle footsteps thousands of kilometers away, the sense of hearing was so, thinking that his intuition was far beyond ordinary people, since he felt that it was dangerous, it was best not to go any further.

At that moment, Xu Rui called He Shuya to him and said, "Nerd, you go and call the 4th company back." ”

He Shuya is now Xu Rui's correspondent, so he agreed at the moment and trotted north.

Xu Rui said to Leng Tiefeng again: "You take the 2nd Company and come with me." ”

Leng Tiefeng nodded, and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"To the west." Xu Rui said, "Let's go to Taizhou." ”

"To Taizhou?" Leng Tiefeng said in surprise, "Didn't you say that going west is looking for death?" ”

Jiang Nan was also anxious, and persuaded: "The devil's Iijima Division is now resting in Yangzhou, Taizhou is only less than a hundred miles away from Yangzhou, and the rapid march can be reached in half a day, we went to Taizhou, and just ran into the arms of the Iijima Division." ”

"Leave that alone." Xu Rui said fiercely, "Just follow me to the west." ”

Seeing that Xu Rui had made up his mind, Jiang Nan didn't say more, and Leng Tiefeng immediately ordered the 2nd Company to gather, and then led the troops to turn west with Xu Rui and went straight to Taizhou.

The independent battalion turned around and walked westward not long before two devil reconnaissance planes came out of the clouds, and then swooped down from a high altitude with a terrible scream, still thousands of meters above the ground, and the two machine guns mounted on the wings opened fire fiercely, dragging out two smoke and dust belts on the ground, and quickly approached the marching ranks of the independent battalion.

However, as soon as the devil reconnaissance plane appeared from the clouds, the 2nd Company had already scattered in all directions.

When the devil's reconnaissance plane began to dive and sweep S, the officers and men of the 2nd Company had already hidden into the woods, ditches, or ridges on both sides of the road, and only two remnants were unfortunately shot and seriously wounded.

The devil reconnaissance plane dived and swept S for a few minutes, fluttered its wings and flew away.

Xu Rui came out of the woods and spat at the ghost reconnaissance plane that was far away.

Damn, if he can have a fighter, even if it is a ****-3 fighter, these two devil reconnaissance planes will never want to return home, but unfortunately, he can't get a fighter now, even if he is Chairman Jiang, I'm afraid that there are only a few fighters left on hand.

Leng Tiefeng walked over and said: "Lao Xu, it's not okay to go on like this, if it's still a sunny day tomorrow, the little devil's reconnaissance plane can keep following us, and our every move is under the surveillance of the devil. ”

Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this." ”

Leng Tiefeng frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After resting for a while, the 2nd Company returned to the road and continued westward.

(Dividing Line)

Hai'an Town, the former headquarters of the 180th Independent Regiment of the Division.

The furnishings in the headquarters are the same as before, the corpses of the national * army lying on the ground before have all been removed, and even the blood stains on the ground and on the wall have been wiped clean, and the two tall devil soldiers have changed into the military uniforms of the national * army, carrying Hanyang-made rifles and standing at the door of the headquarters.

Tachibana Yoshio also changed into a general colonel of the National * Army, carrying the rank of colonel on the collar badge, and several officers under him also changed into the tweed military uniforms of the National * Army, which were all stripped from the officers of the 180th Division Independent Regiment, although they were slightly wide on the body, but they didn't pay attention to it and couldn't see anything unusual.

In the telecommunications room next to the headquarters, the radio station has been set up.

Soon, a young man came out of the telecommunications room, first bowed his head and saluted, and then Tachibana Keio reported: "Detachment leader, the aviation scouts urgently report that the remnants of the provisional 79th Division suddenly turned west after entering the vicinity of Rugao, heading towards Taizhou and Yangzhou. ”

"Nani?" Tachibana Yoshio's eyebrows immediately frowned, "Rerouted?" ”

The two officers standing beside Tachibana Keio immediately walked to the big map posted on the wall, and found the location of Rugao from the big map, Tachibana Keio looked at the map, a pair of thick eyebrows became more and more frowned, Rugao is only less than 100 miles away from Hai'an Town, and the enemy is about to step into the trap, why did he change his route?

Seeing that Tachibana Qingxiong didn't speak for a long time, that Dazuo whispered: "Detachment leader, our focus is on the direction of Hai'an Town, and only one infantry brigade is left in the direction of Taizhou, if the remnants of the 79th Division are really sent to Taizhou, I am afraid that only one infantry brigade will not be able to stop them, otherwise, another infantry brigade will be transferred from Hai'an Town to reinforce them?" Or, simply give up the direction of Renqiao and Guxi before the ambush, and intercept and kill the provisional 79th Division. ”

As he spoke, he drew a diagonal line on the map, and Kangan cut into the middle of Taizhou and Rugao.

"No, don't be presumptuous." Tachibana Yoshio suddenly thought of what Kokahara Toshisi had told him, this is an extremely cunning and extremely dangerous opponent, his every move must have a deep meaning, if the Tachibana detachment moves recklessly because it can't hold its breath, it will fall into the other party's calculations, and it will lose the opportunity.

"This is a plan to attack the west!" Yoshio Tachibana said, "We can't be fooled. ”
